Americans turn to social media to discuss dire experiences at hands of health insurance companies

Summary

The killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has ignited outrage over the state of U.S. healthcare.

While his murder shocked many, online reactions highlighted public frustration with private insurers, citing denied care, high costs, and systemic bureaucracy.

UnitedHealthcare, a major industry player, has faced scrutiny for practices perceived as prioritizing profit over patients.

    I think the thing I hate most is “rampant capitalism” capitalism should be domesticated.
